Perfect for busy mornings, this easy-to-make breakfast combines the goodness of oats, chia seeds, and Greek yogurt with a touch of sweetness from honey and the delicate flavors of cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Ingredients:

1 cup greek yogurt
240g
3/4 cup oats
60g
1 tbsp chia seeds
12g
2 tbsp honey
40g
8 oz almond milk
230g
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/2g
1/8 tsp cinnamon
0.31g
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1.05g
2 dash salt
0.80g

Instructions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 3/4 cup oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/4 tsp cardamom, 1/8 tsp cinnamon, and 2 dash salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp honey, 8 oz almond milk, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy consistency.
4. Stir and Serve: In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. If the oats are too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. Top and Enjoy: Serve the overnight oats in bowls or jars. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or additional honey if desired.

Tips:

- Use rolled oats for a chewy texture and avoid instant oats as they can become mushy.

- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.

- Adjust the consistency by adding more or less almond milk based on your preference.

- Let the mixture sit for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for best results.

- Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for added texture and flavor just before serving.

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

With your Overnight Honey Chia Oats ready to go, you can enjoy a healthy, satisfying breakfast without the morning rush. This versatile recipe can be customized with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of syrup, making it a delightful way to start your day.
